Herschel Walker, My Truth & EVERYONE’S Truth
Last week, during the holidays I was in Disney with the family. Since we drove, I had LOTS of FREE time to catch up on stuff I rarely get to do.... watch TV.

Are You Stronger Than an Idiot aka Learning From Injuries?
Time to lay down the law on those who listen and especially those who are "good enough" and only listen to a select few. Remember, to achieve greater success you must acquire the mindset of "always a white belt". The Learning NEVER ends. I've been there and done that & it led to a road called injured in a town called weakness. This past week, I cranked 4 workouts this week, ALL of them stronger than the week before. Progress is running smoother than ever. Mind you, I NEVER … [Read more...]
Lessons in Greatness, Hellish Times, Adversity & The Age Factor from Rodney Dangerfield
I watch lots of biographies on TV and love to read biographies and autobiographies. I probably read Arnold's 'Education of a Bodybuilder' over 100 times while in high school alone. I read it many more times after high school as well. I basically memorized the book, and through time, I began "becoming Arnold" during my workouts. I would visualize my chest like Arnold's when training chest. Or if I was squatting, I imagined I was squatting with Ed Corney and Arnold in Pumping Iron. … [Read more...]

What I do and what I speak about is NOT for everyone, it is for a select group of people who want to challenge themselves BIG time while growing both mentally and … [Read more...]

Power Talk with Jonny Hinds of The Monkey Bar Gym
On my one hand, I can count those who have REALLY influenced me in training AND in life. Without hesitation, Jonny Hinds is one of those people. I connected with Jon maybe 2 or 3 years ago by phone, after Pat Miletich, the MMA Coach and former UFC Champion, sent me his way. I would spend over an hour on the phone talking about physical culture and nutrition every time we chatted. We would philosophize about life and exchange cool training and life stories and experiences, and, I'll admit, … [Read more...]
